Hi I would to know  more about the program for those already in it. I applied for the fall PMHNP program and got accepted but am trying to decide between other programs. Do they really ensure clinical placement? How are the classes like? Are Professors easily accessible? What does each class comprise of, quizzes, exams, discussion board? Are the exams proctored for each class also? Thanks and hoping to hear from someone.

Well I have my own network to draw from for clinicals and don't begin them until fall so I cant comment on that.

 

So far I've just been doing the sort of...I guess MSN foundation stuff , twchnology for APRN's , research , roles od nurse practitioner etc

 

I start advanced patho and assesment next term.

 

Thus far its almost always 2 discussion posts per week per class per week with two responses to classmates for each discussion post. This is interspersed with assignments / essays / projects. It seems to be on average 2 per class of these major assignments.

 

So far no exams , I think thats going to start eith the advanced patho / pharm / asseament portion.

 

Outside of the reading theyll post extra powerpoints or videos weekly focused on the topic at hand.

 

Its 100% online so , if you arent the aort to be able to self engage then I suppose it may be a struggle but I don't imagine a lot of folks got this far (a bachelora in nursing) without picking up the requisite time management and study skills so I don't think its going to be a pronlem.

 

The proffesors are very accesible a lot will email weekly class updates and drop their personal cell telling you to text or call with quesrions.

 

Try to find a local NP networking group. Thatll come in handy no matter where you end up.

oh, one thing I just thought of. You get the syllabus at the start of the course. What I've been doing is working a week ahead, meaning the first week I'm lining up my discussion posts for that week and week 2 and doing the readings for both weeks.

 

So , having the syllabus upfront allows you to budget time better because you can see what portion of your final grade the assignments are vs the discussions. For example in my current course we have an assignment for week 6 (of the 8 week course) that's about 1/3rd of the total grade. So you won't have the knowledge base to start it early BUt because I'm running a week in advance I'm able to tackle that beginning week 5.

 

I imagine this method of time budgeting and accountability would transfer to another program if you ended up doing it.

Thank you so much. This has made my decision on what program to pick. I was hesitant at first due to various mixed reviews but I believe the program is doable like you said its just all about planning that's pretty much it and being on top of things.

This message is a long shot as it’s been a minute since anyone has posted, but I’d like to know how those of you are doing in Herzing’s PMHNP program. I’m currently looking into their RN to MSN PMHNP program as well as Wilkes University. My main question is their accreditation. I spoke with an admissions representative yesterday, and when I asked him about their accreditation his response was Herzing only offers their programs in regions/states they are accredited, but advised each person to do their own due diligence. That kind of blanket answer made me a bit hesitant to pursue them until I did some deep dives with the appropriate accreditation bureaus and reached out to you all on here. Would like to see where everyone is at and get your take on Herzing. 

Appreciate the input ?

Well you can just go to your state board and get a list of accredited advanced practice programs. I think Wilkes & Chamberlain are considered the most "degree mill" of the lot, Herzing has never been cited or anything of that nature though which I feel like would be THE red flag to look at.
